Last Option

Had my hair tied up in a bun to class today because it is 34°C outside and I am in so much agony. Despite the fact that I have yet to fully recover, these darn hormones have decided to make things even worse for me. 

I may be all sensitive these days but I despise those who are so proud of claiming how brutally honest they are by being nothing but offensive. Yes, I speak my mind out too but I have my way of saying what I think honestly and openly without being harsh because kindness is essential. My mother has always emphasised on the importance of manners to me but most people are lacking so much of it. My biggest pet peeve would be how rude, disrespectful and ill-mannered the world at large can be to anyone or anything at all – especially to their parents.

We have conversations that are so politically correct it is hard to figure out how someone really feels – which is why it is absolutely necessary to be polite. Do not criticize someone to change, inspire them. There's only so much good in this world. 

I've got a lot on my plate – emotional plate included, mind you – and I know it isn't wise of me to keep heaping it on and allowing others even, piling it higher with their plaintive requests. I too have been so preoccupied with a recent setback that I haven't been looking hard around me to see things clearly. How could I when it's crystal how I was, am and never will be anyone's first choice? It's difficult to steer my thoughts away from the negatives when I am so tripped up by all these problems.

However, I am thankful because the Almighty is constantly reminding me that He is always there for me. It's time to cheer up and to cheer myself on. Take charge of your happiness, Fayra. Maintain a happy equilibrium because you'll get through it insyaAllah.
